Are there any .32 ACP 60 gr or 71 gr cast bullets made?

I can't find any so I settled on the 78gr bullets made by Missouri Bullets meant for the 32 H&R Mag and they work better than I thought they would. (using W231)

A local caster had an old Ideal/Lyman mould, for the mid 70's grain bullet. I bought his last 400 when he retired. I use them in a 32 ACP derringer with fair results. Ivan

I have that mold. It's the Lyman 311252, which drops a 77 gr RN bullet. It performs very well for me, using Titegroup powder. It does shoot to point of aim for me with the fixed sights, and is as accurate as I can hold with a pocket pistol. Tracking down the ejected empty cases is another challenge though.

I'm using that bullet mold too. Mine are weighing 78gr. Using 2 gr hp 38 and seating them to .976. In a 1903 colt pocket.
